Three Profitable Offshore Opportunities - Banking, Forex, And a Foundation
The world is changing and it is changing fast. Who would have thought that small Asian economies would be leading the way out of the worst recession in seventy-five years? Who would have thought that a country like Peru would be buying dollars to alter the exchange rate and help prop up the dollar? It is a brand new world where perhaps the best place to set up a banking operation is in New Zealand although an NZOFC cannot be called a bank! Still, a tried and true solution to offshore asset management such as a Panama Private Interest Foundation remains as a profitable and secure offshore solution along with offshore banking, and opening a Forex company.
More and more people are moving their assets, their talents, and themselves out of their nations of origin and into a busy, industrious, and profitable offshore world. The very wealthy have banked in tax advantaged jurisdictions for years. They have taken still take advantage of offshore asset protection and privacy vehicles such as trusts, international corporations, and foundations to shield their wealth from prying eyes and reduce the tax consequence of inheritance. However, it is the surge of expatriates from all over the globe moving and doing business all over the globe that opens the doors to profitable offshore investment opportunities.
Three profitable offshore opportunities are starting a bank, forming an offshore Forex company, and using a Panama Private Interest Foundation as a holder of tangible assets, businesses, and bank accounts. There are many opportunities in today's fast moving world. We choose these three for their combination of opportunity and security.
Offshore Banking in the 21st Century: an NZOFC
There are many offshore banking jurisdictions. There are also a number of jurisdictions where an individual or corporation can obtain licensing and set up business offering banking services. In choosing a jurisdiction for offering offshore banking services the individual or corporation will want to search out a democratic, politically and economically stable, business friendly country. A nation where English, still the universal language, is spoken is a plus. The nation will need to have at least adequate infrastructure to support the business and ideally will have first rate telecommunications, transportation, and support services.
A nation that offers a first rate offshore banking opportunity and also fits the necessary criteria for a successful offshore operation is New Zealand. This former British Crown Colony is located in the Southwest Pacific to the East of Australia. Its population is mostly descended from British immigrants and is mostly English speaking. The country is well governed with little or no corruption and its educational standards are as good as or better than the USA, Canada, and Great Britain. This is a business friendly country known for its innovative spirit.
Of our three profitable offshore opportunities we put the New Zealand Offshore Financial Company (NZOFC) at the top of the list. This type of company is not governed by New Zealand banking law nor regulated by the Federal Reserve Bank of New Zealand. There are no capital reserve requirements in setting up an NZOFC. The law in New Zealand is quite specific in that an NZOFC cannot be called a bank or intimated to be a bank. However, such a company can take deposits from anywhere in the world outside of New Zealand. It can pay interests, make loans, market investments, manage trusts, and provide virtually all services that a bank might offer. Anyone from any country is free to apply for a license to operate an NZOFC.
A Profitable Foreign Exchange Opportunity
So, the Chinese are trading the Yuan versus the Malaysian Ringgit. The Euro is periodically in free fall as Greece and the other PIIGS reveal more sovereign debt. A flight to quality sends folks out buying Yen, US dollars, and Swiss francs. So, how do you trade foreign exchange in this hectic and uncertain world of international finance? There is certainly money to be made in Forex trading. There is, however, steady money to be made in running a Forex brokerage offshore.
There are a number of jurisdictions still where it is possible to obtain a Forex license. Because of the variable degrees of infrastructure development, business friendliness, and political stability in some offshore jurisdictions it is wise to consult someone with experience to help choose a jurisdiction, obtain licensure, and initiate operations. There are a number good places from which to do business, depending up individual preference. There are also a few disadvantageous jurisdictions to be avoided. Starting out with good advice in this arena is wise.
The point of setting of a Forex company is that the fees and commissions are steady income. While trading can be profitable it can also be a drain on capital. This is the old argument about selling picks and shovels when everyone else is prospecting for gold.
Handling Offshore Opportunity in the Most Advantageous Manner
The third offshore opportunity we mention is the Panama Private Interest Foundation. This is not directly a business opportunity but it can be a "holder" of businesses, bank accounts, and assets such as art work, yachts, airplanes, jewelry, and more. A Panama Private Interest Foundation has no owner. It does have beneficiaries. Such an entity is often used in place of a trust to pass on inheritance with minimal tax consequences. The foundation is set up in such a way and with instructions so that beneficiaries change when the first beneficiary dies. Especially for those with concerns about asset privacy and security this type of foundation will allow for individuals to benefit from assets, businesses, and bank accounts without having their personal names or other details in any public registry.
A common use of a Panama Private Interest Foundation is in an integrated offshore asset protection solution containing offshore businesses, bank accounts, and other assets. Typically the foundation is the lynch pin in this solution as the holder of assets for the use and benefit of designated persons, the beneficiaries.
These three profitable offshore opportunities are available to anyone interested in pursuing them. It only takes an email or phone call to an experienced individual or company to get the ball roll

Forex Online System Trading - How to Boost Your Discipline and Confidence in Two Simple Steps
The Challenge
Consistently profitable online forex currency trading requires both confidence and discipline to first achieve and then maintain a reasonable level of success. For virtually all traders, these two aspects of trading are responsible for their success or lack of it: having confidence as a trader, plus the discipline to stick to their system.
Most traders that struggle with their discipline do so for a very simple reason and this is something that can be very easily addressed and rather quickly.Ask any frustrated or struggling trader what their biggest problem is and it will boil down to a lack of confidence and / or discipline in one form or another. Traders who have both are the ones the that are doing fine and enjoying their trading.
Even the veteran traders will tell you that the primary reason for any rough spells they have occasionally experienced were from when they had a lapse or breakdown in their confidence or their discipline, but once they got it back all was well.So how do you go about building these two emotional pillars for successful currency online trading? Or regaining them if they've waned?
The 80/20 Solution
One of the fastest and most effective ways to give yourself that boost is to intentionally create a disruption in the unsuccessful pattern that has been established. Now this applies whether you've known success and temporarily lost it or if you haven't found it yet.
The most powerful way to disrupt the pattern is through stepping back and making an assessment of your current trading. Now, this doesn't have to be a lengthy or monumental task. There are two parts to this process and it generally follows the 80/20 rule with which you're already familiar.
Good news for you is that the first part is the 20% of your effort that will yield 80% of the results. Even better is the fact that you can do this within the next hour or two and see results that fast. Here's what you do:
Step 1. Effort = 20%, Yield = 80%
Step 1, part 1 is to take your recent trading results and run your metrics on your current trading. So which metrics are going to give you confidence and discipline-building information?
o Your real winning percentage
o Your actual profit-to-loss ratio
o The true size of your average winner
o The true size of your average losing trades
o Your actual number of winning trades
o Your actual number of losing trades
o Your REAL ROI from your trading efforts in both time and $
o Your projected annual income from your trading - based on real numbers from your current trading
So how does this help with your confidence if the numbers don't look so great? Especially if you haven't yet experienced a level of success that you desire?
Well, very specifically these numbers give you a very clear reference point to work with regarding the factors in your trading that make the bottom line what it is. Rather than going on hope and wishful thinking, you now know the particular aspects of your trading on which to focus your efforts - and realize results. It brings a great deal of clarity to the exact direction for you to take.
Just this simple step alone with give you a substantial boost, and part 2 will really bring about a transformation.
Step 1 Part 2.
In this part, you simply backtest your system (whatever it is) very specifically according to the rules of your forex currency trading system using recent historical market data for the markets you trade.
You then run the metrics and compare the two. This information is incredibly powerful in two ways for building both your confidence and your discipline to stick with your system. Here's how this works for you.
By backtesting your system with historical data, this can give you a very clear measure of what your system is capable of delivering for you. If your current trading is not delivering the profits that you want, you need to know if the problem is with the system or if it in your execution of the system.
If your current day online trading results are comparable to the backtesting results, then you know immediately that you need to take a closer look at the system you're using.
If your backtest results are good, but your current results with your system are not, then you know that you need to focus on your execution.
Most importantly, if your system doesn't backtest well, then you know straightaway that you need to consider changes to the forex currency trading system you're using, either a new system altogether or changes to the one you've got.
Directly for confidence and discipline, if your system tests well, then your confidence in it should go way up, along with your discipline to stick to it - because you are providing PROOF to yourself of its capabilities and limitations and with real numbers.
Plus when you can see its capabilities you can more easily get through short losing streaks and drawdowns while maintaining confidence in your system, thus making the discipline part of sticking with it much easier.
Step 2. The More Intensive Process
If you have gone through the process in Step 1 and find that your system is solid and you do know it well but you find that your emotions are creating challenges for you, then you'll need to dig a bit deeper and you'll very likely need an outside perspective. This type of situation is the example of Einstein's comment that we can't solve problems from the same level of thinking from which they were created. Introspection and diagnostic questions from someone that has trading experience are what will help you first identify and then address the root causes of what is creating the emotional challenges. At Inside Out Trading, there are resources specifically created to help you in these areas.
In conclusion, confidence comes from thorough understanding and successful experience. Once you have a system in which you can have confidence, then the discipline to stick to it gets much much easier.
Analyzing your currency online trading then backtesting your system can provide a great deal of confidence and thus make sticking to your system considerably easier by knowing the particulars of how it makes your bottom line what it is and what your system is capable of delivering.
